Straitjackets have always been used to restrain and symbolize the most insane of human kind. But I bet you didn't know they use to have a deeper purpose outside of the common restraint. A jacket known as a Ghent's straitjacket was made out of leather instead of cloth, they were designed to make the wearer as uncomfortable as possible even to the means of extreme torture. When fully buckled into place the wear's limbs would be strained into incredible distortion. The buckles would even include their legs from time to time. They would be left in this condition for hours upon hours which would eventually melt into days, the lasting effects that this device would have on them would be wretched and permanent. Their spines would be misshapen for the rest of their wretched lives.
